The 22-year-old arrived in Formula E for the 2024-25 season and spent his rookie campaigns building a reputation as a quietly quick, if unlucky, prospect. Across 2025/26 he posted top-ten finishes in São Paulo, Monaco and Tokyo, and by several measures outran his far more seasoned teammate, Brazilian veteran Lucas Di Grassi, out-qualifying him nine times and reaching the qualifying duel three times despite Di Grassi taking the season’s lone win for the pairing.
That partnership closed on a muted note in London, England, where Di Grassi announced his retirement from racing, leaving a vacancy at Lola and Maloney searching for a new teammate.
